Auditing Gatekeeper Dependencies Before EU DMA Cloud and AI Enforcement
A working walkthrough for auditing the gatekeeper dependencies in your stack before EU DMA enforcement changes provider behaviour. The 10% fine ceiling in Article 30 of Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 is not news — it has been in the text since 2022. What moves is the obligation schedule: once the Commission designates a gatekeeper, it has six months to comply, and that is the window where API terms, default bundling and interoperability endpoints change. In this video: - scoping the systems that actually sit behind a gatekeeper, across runtime, distribution, identity, data and model access - a YAML inventory where every dependency carries an evidence locator — the lockfile entry, the IaC resource, the DNS name - risk scoring on blast radius, switchability and contractual notice window - a short Node script that derives the mechanical half from your lockfile and infra files - why cloud computing is a DMA core platform service and model APIs are not — model risk lives in contracts and versioning, and that is a different instrument - two continuous checks: a terms-page hash diff and a CI gate on deprecation feeds and egress budget Code samples come from a synthetic fixture so the output stays deterministic.
